75139 Battle on Takodana: FN-2199 is in the box ...

Fans of the LEGO Star Wars range will be happy to hear that the Stormtrooper seen in the ruins of Maz Kanata Castle, nicknamed by many fans TR-8R with reference to the phonetics of the word Traitor which he speaks onscreen before confronting Finn, in fact has an identity.

This is FN-2199, a Stormtrooper who trained with Finn aka FN-2187 before serving with him in the same squad.

Present in the set 75139 Battle on Takodana with his riot stick (Official name of the thing: Z6 Stick), this character now has a name and a story, moreover developed in the book Star Wars: Before the Awakening which recounts the adventures of Poe, Rey and Finn taking place before the events of the film.

Obviously, that's not enough to make this an exclusive minifigure, after all it's just another Stormtrooper, but it's cool information that collectors will probably appreciate.
